Practice Exam

I have been using the Microsoft Press Book and Exam Cram 2 to study for the
70-271 exam. I have just taken one of the practice tests from the Readiness
Review CD that came with the MS book and scored 84%. However, I was more
than a little concerned at one of the questions:-

Basically, the question concerned an XP Professional user with two 4GB hard
disks formatted as FAT32. The user wanted to know if he could mirror the
disks so that, if one disk failed, he could still use the other one. I chose
the answer that only MS Windows Server products support fault-tolerant
volumes, not Windows XP. However, the CD gave the incorrect answer that the
disks could be mirrored, but they would have to be converted to dynamic
disks.

I am hoping to take the 271 exam very soon, but wonder what the chances are
that an incorrect question could pop up on the real exam?

These are the questions I dread taking and can throw you off completely, but
even leave these types of questions for last and do the ones you know first.
Hope that helps. I am taking 70-272 in March. Want a study buddy? Cheers
